Ok, so I started looking at what exactly I had to give away.
Looking at my piles, I feel bad actually asking for money for such cards, even if it's just for postage. So here's what we'll do : you can claim any lot (or even several team lots). Yup, just like that, because it's Christmas. I would love to make new trades, so if you feel like sending cards back my way, that'd be great (anything from my Gold Glovers collection or other PC there on the right other than Blue Jays or Griffey base cards). If not, that's ok, I'm happy to just offer some cards that are taking up space.
I should probably take pictures of the lots to spike interest, but quite frankly, I'm too lazy to organize them properly just right now. But what I have to give away is pretty basic, so text will be enough !
I'll do this on a first come first served basis for obvious reasons. All lots come with no duplicates and include at least 50 cards, I'd say.
And if it turns out that nobody loves me, I'll just do what us French people do : drink wine, eat cheese and complain about everything.
Lot 1 : team lots with a little bit of everything. Mainly mid 90s base cards, but stars and semi-stars included. About 50 to 100 cards each. You can pick up to 3 teams.
Teams already claimed : Reds, Braves. Yankees. Rays. Dodgers. Astros. Red Sox. Giants. Pirates. Mets
Lot 2 : 2013 Allen & Ginter's + 2013 Heritage (about 50 cards) CLAIMED
Lot 3 : PANINI ! Half 2013 Home town Heroes, half 2015 Diamond Kings (about 50 cards) CLAIMED
Lot 4 : 94 + 95 Pinnacle + 94 Select

And that about covers it.
Also, if there are Blue Jays players you collect, don't hesitate to let me know, I have a ton of each.
Let the claiming begin !
I'd like the Bo Jackson/Deion Sanders lot. I'll get some stuff to you in return. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to claim the Yankees and Rays. Thanks! I'm going to finally take the plunge and learn about trans-Atlantic shipping. I'll definitely put together a return package for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing I'm already down for the Braves., but wanted to say congrats on your book. I know 2 people that have written them and know what a pain it is
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned via email, I'll claim any Reds you've got and I'm pretty sure I can send a few things in return.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congrats on the book!
I'd be happy to claim your Dodgers and happy to send some cards overseas so you can complain about them while you sip your wine and eat your cheese.
ReplyDeleteGimme Hometown Heroes and Diamond Kings please. And if you have any extra Josh Donaldson's laying around, I just found out my little nephew is getting into cards and that is one of his favorite players.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your book Kevin! You make-ah me proud. Sooo since your getting rids of cards, how about dem Astros? I can't believe I'm collecting them now - after giving them away for twenty years. I've also started a Rays collection...NOT. I do have another package just about ready to hit the mail. Hmm...Christmas cards are around the corner too. Better lay off the naughty for the rest of the year. ; )
ReplyDeleteI'll lay claim to the Ginter lot, and any Jose Bautista coolness you may have. I'm sure I have a stack of Gold Glovers to send your way, particularly Andruw.
ReplyDeleteCan I claim Red Sox?
ReplyDeleteI'll lay an additional claim to the 94 Upper Deck lot please ... if that's within the rules.
ReplyDeleteIs that Lot 6 Stadium Club still available?
ReplyDeletesure Adam, it's yours !
